Newport County friendly rearranged

City's pre-season fixture with Newport County will take place as a behind-closed-doors friendly.

Lee Johnson’s side will take on the South Wales club as part of their preparations for the 2018/19 season, which kicks off on August 4th.

After both City and Newport County reviewed the fixture, and with a potential semi-final fixture for England at the World Cup, the costs of staging the match would far outweigh any revenue derived from it, therefore meaning it would not be commercially viable.
